BGP: The Big Gory Protocol (Can you troubleshoot it?)

It isn’t my fault, they configured it that way before I got here! That was the entry level technician’s story Monday morning, and he was sticking to it.  :)
Here is the rest of the story.   Over the weekend, some testing had been done regarding a proposed BGP configuration.   The objective was simple, R1 and R3 needed to ping each others loobacks at 1.1.1.1 and 3.3.3.3 respectively, with those 2 networks, being carried by BGP.  R2 is performing NAT.    The topology diagram looks like this:
3 routers in a row-NO-user
The ping between loopbacks didn’t work, but R1 and R3 had these console messages:
R1#
%TCP-6-BADAUTH: No MD5 digest from 10.0.0.3(179) to 10.0.0.1(28556) (RST)
R1#
%TCP-6-BADAUTH: No MD5 digest from 10.0.0.3(179) to 10.0.0.1(28556) (RST)
R1#

R3#
%TCP-6-BADAUTH: No MD5 digest from 23.0.0.1(179) to 23.0.0.3(59922) (RST)
R3#
%TCP-6-BADAUTH: No MD5 digest from 23.0.0.1(179) to 23.0.0.3(59922) (RST)
R3#
The senior engineer looked at the configurations for R1, R2 and R3 and found 5 specific items, each of which was independently causing a failure.
Here is the challenge:  Can you find 1 or more of them?
Let us know what your troubleshooting skills can find, and post your comments here on the blog.
Here are the configurations for the 3 routers:
